Made with Laird's and homemade creme de mure, good stuff. Will need to make it properly once I get more brandy.

Beyond the Orchard

1 1⁄2 oz Sour Cherry Gin, Luxardo
1⁄2 oz White port, Fonseca (Siroco)
1⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1⁄4 oz Strega

1 Cherry (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice for 15 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with a cherry pick.

Notes

I haven't tried this, but if you don't have the Luxardo Sour Cherry Gin, you could probably try muddling a cherry with a lighter New Western style gin (the Luxardo is only 76 proof).

Earthly Regrets

3⁄4 oz Gin, Malfy (con Limone)
3⁄4 oz Suze
3⁄4 oz Crème de Pamplemousse, Giffard
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1 Grapefruit peel
Instructions

Shake all ingredients (including the grapefruit swath) with ice for 15 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. No garnish.

Notes

This is definitely for those who like (really like) the earthy bitterness of Suze. If you want something a bit less intense, do 1 oz pamplemousse and .5 oz Suze.

If you don't have Malfy con Limone, use a low proof, citrusy gin such as Plymouth, Aviation, etc.

Crack in the Earth

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal, Sombra (Cacao Nib Infused)
1⁄2 oz Walnut Liqueur, Nux Alpina
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
10 dr Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere or a Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with an expressed orange swath.

Notes

Cacao Nib Infused Mezcal: toast 1/2 cup of cacao nibs on a baking sheet at 350 for 6-7 minutes. Let cool, and then infuse in a 750ml bottle of mezcal (I used Sombra) for 3 days. Filter, strain and re-bottle.

History

Read somewhere that walnuts are sometimes used in mole sauce, so I wanted to work similar flavors into a cocktail.

HallA commented on 2/27/2022:

Version I found had averna rather than foro, coffee liqueur rather than coffee, and double the dashes of everything. It's pretty good, a little too much going on if you want my opinion but pleasant.

Shawn C commented on 10/31/2024:

Note that the NoMad Cocktail book actually lists the recipe as 1 tsp "cold brew coffee concentrate" rather than a more dilute coffee. The concentrate cold brew is given as ~4:1 water to coffee by weight (2 kg to 455 g specifically.) The book also has double the number of dashes of bitters, but it states that those are from Japanese dasher bottles, so the dash count in the link and in the current KC listing are probably correct for more typical dash volumes. Final note is that the grapefruit twist is expressed and discarded rather than being retained as a garnish (stated in the book, but not in link.)

Shawn C commented on 11/04/2024:

Curated to correct name (Gentlemen's not Gentleman's) per the book. Note about the cold brew coffee concentrate formula added. Book reference also listed.

  • I think I didn't fully clarify this but it was still delicious, if a little on the sweet size.

Down for the Count (Negroni x Remember the Maine)

1 oz Gin
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Punt e Mes
1⁄2 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
1⁄2 oz Campari
1 ds Absinthe
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass, fill with ice, and garnish with an orange twist.

History

I was inspired by the Canon Cocktail Books's Remember the Maine riff called the Remember the Alamo that utilized Punt e Mes instead of sweet vermouth. Originally, I wanted to merge both Cherry Heering drinks with a Boulevardier, but gin won out since I could come up with a name. Here, I paid homage both to Count Camillo Negroni and to sinking ships.
